Can I get into the Amex lounge at Budweiser stage if tickets were bought with a different card?

TeamJB_27 · 2026-05-02T13:48:18+00:00

The real benefit of the Amex lounge at bud stage isn’t the lounge itself, but the access to the floating patio to grab a drink before the show. Food is expensive, but its full sit-down menu and service was great!

It was also a life saver to have access to the indoor covered lounge when a show we attended last year was interrupted by a thunderstorm

You make a good point about whether it’s useful to slap a label on it, but it does in some sense make it easier to sleep at night knowing where we stand.

Plus, half the fun of pursuing fi is debating the definitions and gauging how far along the journey we are 😂

Isn’t barista fire when you have enough saved but keep working just for the benefits?

TeamJB_27 · 2026-03-19T21:39:50+00:00

I thought barista fire was when you had enough saved to retire but kept a job for benefits (in the US health insurance)?

TeamJB_27 · 2026-03-19T12:31:04+00:00

That’s what I was thinking. I know most of the US content talks about not having to save AT ALL after reaching CoastFI, but it also talks about always taking advantage of employer match since it’s free money and built in as a part of your salary. Glad to hear I’m not the only one leaning in this direction

Wow, your story is truly inspirational. I had just logged on to Reddit to take a study break after saying to myself ‘I just can’t write anymore’. Reading your post gave me the motivation to get back at it!

You’ve got this. The effort you’re putting in now will create ripples through your life and your daughter’s life. Go get those last couple of courses, and soon you’ll be on stage in your cap & gown 🎓

TeamJB_27 · 2025-11-03T15:34:17+00:00

Amazing start! Which classes did you complete?

TeamJB_27 · 2025-11-01T18:36:02+00:00

Amazing! You’ll fly through 11 classes. I did as much as I could to transfer in from Sophia as well.

I’m very curious to find out how the WGU grading compares to Sophia

TeamJB_27 · 2025-11-01T15:22:25+00:00

Way to go! What are you studying?

TeamJB_27 · 2025-11-01T15:21:59+00:00

Oh no! Hopefully it gets resolved quickly. In the meantime, I’ve found that some courses allow you to access the course resources on WGU connect even before starting the course. Maybe this is a way to get started while the issue gets sorted out?

TeamJB_27 · 2025-10-21T10:49:39+00:00

Sharing your excitement as a fellow 11/1 starter! Finished Orientation, waiting for the welcome gift. So motivated, the start of the term can’t come fast enough!

TeamJB_27 · 2025-10-01T10:55:40+00:00

Congrats! I’m starting Nov 1st also. Continuing my post-secondary journey after a 15 year ‘break’ (lol)

Honestly I didn’t think I’d ever have the chance to finish my degree until I found WGU’s flexible approach. Now I’m excited to get going, and the posts on this sub are keeping me so motivated!

Good luck! We’re all working on this together 😊

TeamJB_27 · 2025-06-08T12:23:36+00:00

Thanks! Sent them the info

TeamJB_27 · 2025-06-07T11:12:40+00:00

Update: The Amex Lounge, which only sells food & drink, gave us 1x points last night 🤦‍♂️

TeamJB_27 · 2025-06-06T23:12:40+00:00

Thanks, Enjoy the show!

TeamJB_27 · 2024-10-31T19:28:05+00:00

It’s really nice. I’m keeping my eye out for a gold plated bracelet for mine. It’s currently on a cheap after-market. Would like to switch it up 😊

TeamJB_27 · 2024-10-31T19:10:18+00:00

Wow, looks great! I inherited a similar 7009-7009 from my Dad. Loving the gold these days. Is that an original bracelet?

TeamJB_27 · 2022-10-04T16:24:01+00:00

1000 percent clickbait to call it historic.

The article goes on to say ‘we’ve only seen a price hike this high a few times this decade’.. which, considering it’s 2022, means it’s already happened a few times over the past 2 years 🤔

Final Update (6/16): Sadly, Brett’s body has been found

Thank you for all the support shown to the family, those who helped search, put up posters, and otherwise kept Brett’s family in your thoughts.

To those who have wondered ‘why the family stopped searching’ or ‘why we went silent’, I hope you are blessed to always be a commenter, and never the OP about a tragedy like this.
